'subprocess.check_output' extra new line?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi

I wonder if the additional new line charachter at the end of the standard output capture is on purpose with 'subprocess.check_output'?

>>> subprocess.check_output([ 'cygpath', 'C:\\' ])
'/cygdrive/c\n'

If I do the same from the shell there is no extra new line (which is correct I believe):

$ x=$(cygpath C:\\); echo "_${x}_"
_/cygdrive/c_

Surely I have a workaround. I was more interested whether it was a design flaw.

Cheers
